CHRIST REISER, OF PRAIRIE DU CHIEN, `WIS., ASSIGNOR TC THE REISER STEAM BOILER CLEANER COMPANY, (LIMITED,) OF SAME PLACE.

STEAM-BOILER CLEANER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 272,770, dated February 20, 188,3.

` Application filed July 12, 1882.- (No model.)

To all w/Lom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHRIST REISER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Prairie du Chien, in the county of Crawford and State 5 of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Steam-Boiler Cleaners; and I do hereby declare the following to bea full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in 1o4 the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and'to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part ot' this specification. e Figure l is a cross-section of a boiler having the present invention in all its parts in position for use; Fig. 2, a detail in perspective of some of the internal parts; Fig. 3, a detail in perspective of thc cup-shaped part C in- This invention belongs to that class of devices known as steam-boiler cleaners and the novelty consists in the construction of each of the several parts which make up the present invention, and also in their combination together, all as will now be more fully set out and explained.

1n the accompanying drawings, A denotes any ordinary steam-boiler, and B the i'eedpipe,

3o which passes through the crown of theboiler, having outside the boiler, on this part ot' it, which is screw-threaded, a locknut, b. On its lower end, and inside the boiler,istheinverted cupshaped piece C, fitted tightly thereon by the screw-threaded hole c in its crown.

Inside the lower edge of C are the oft'setsone on each side-and upon these are secured the lugs d-one on each side of the cup-shaped receiver D-and there is thus left a space all 4o round between its edges and the inside of C,

except-ing at the said points ot' contact.

From the crown and immediately in line with the feed-pipe descends` the pipe C,which is preferably an integral partof thecup-shaped 4-5 piece C; but it is evident it may oe made ot' a.

separate piece and removable. This pipe descends almost to the receiver D.

Immediately under the parts of the device above explained is the bowl E, hung to the inside of the boiler by means ot' bolts e, which pass at convenientpoints through itsedges,and are caught by the eyes'on their ends on the hooks a, attached to the boiler-shell inside.

Passing down through elbow b,with the packing-box I)2 and the feed-pipe and induct and 55 the receiver below it, is the stirrer-rod F, having attached to its lower end the arm j', (one or more,) which comes suiiiciently close to the inside bottom of the bowl E so as, when actuated by the turning of the rod, which can be 6o done by handlef above the elbow b of the feed-pipe, to cut up or agitata the scale or mud on the bottom of the bowl.

The bowl E may be provided with a cleanout pipe, E', which is extended out througl1.65 the boi1ershell at any convenient point.

The iniiowing water passes through the feed and the pipe with which it connects to the bottom of the saucer-shaped receiver, and thence, when itrises high enough, Hows out over its 7o edges upon the bowl below, and thencein turn overiiows the edge ot' that receptacle andfalls into the boiler proper. The end of pipe C will thus always be sealed by the water in the receiver or receptacle D, Vpreventing the steam from rushing into the feed-pipe afterthe stroke of the pump.

The sediment or scale stirred up by the use of rod F and its arm can be blown out under steam-pressure, or iiooded out by water when 8o the boiler is cold, thereby saving trouble of going into the boiler to clean it out.

The bowl E can be made in sections, so as to be easily introduced through the man-hole of the boiler. By means ofthe lock-nut bon the feed-pipe and outside the boiler the cup-piece C can be locked lirm and tight in position.

It may sometimes not be convenient 'to use this entire structure, above described, in a boiler. In that case I may use the feed-pipe 9o and its connections and the inverted cup and saucer-shaped receiver. I may also find it of advantage to use so much of my present device in connection with the whole or part of the cleaner described in my Patents Nos. 244 668 and 247,948.

The stirrer above described may be dispensed with when such arrangement is considered best.. n

Having thus described my invention, whatI roo 4. In combination with a Water-feed, the bowl E, having clean-out pipe E', suspended from the boiler in manner described, substantially as described.

5. In combination with the bowl E,the cupshaped piece C, pipe C', and feed-pipe B, 'the stirrer Ff, constructed and operated substantially asset forth.

In testimony whereof I aix my signature in presence of two Witnesses. Y

CHRIST REISER.
